Low Carb High Fat diet

Good low-carb recipes for those who follow the LCHF (low carb, high fat) diet. Meaning no carbs, no sugar, no fruit, but you can eat protein (meat, eggs, chicken, fish), vegetables and salads, and some of the following: nuts, berries, beans.. And once in a while; 70% dark chocolate, wine, or liquor mixed with diet soda. For more information, search "LCHF" in the search bar on the front page (click on "Home" on this blog).

Came across a raw food recipe of lasagne (was a bit skeptical, but oh, I'm a little hooked..!), that was soooo good, I started getting the cravings for it, and since I can't buy it anywhere as take out, and was a bit too lazy and in a hurry to make the whole recipe (you're supposed to make the two different sauces from scratch with herbs and spinach and stuff) - I just cheated a bit with the sauces, to make a QUICK DINNER, and didn't use all of the ingredients, just the essential ones, and it was just as good!

(It tastes a lot more than it looks like too!)

So, instead of making the sauces, I used tomato purée (just added some basil herbs) and green pesto.

See below for ingredients, and you just add in layers, like you would a lasagne.

Doesn't need cooking, just ready to eat! :-)

Ingredients:

Mushrooms, in slices (wash if you want, since not going to heat them, and dry off with some paper towel)Squash / zucchini (use a cheese grader to make very thin slices, and use as lasagne plates)Avocado (try to get somewhat slices, and spread out as a layer)Onion (optional, in addition: garlic) (chop in small pieces and spread out as a layer)Tomato purréeBasil herbsPesto (green)Salt & PepperCheese (on top)

In addition, if you want (not necessary):
Cashew nuts (natural, non-salted) or almonds (chopped in very small pieces)
Chick peas
Corn

The Mushrooms are supposed to be marinated in olive oil, basil herbs, salt & pepper, and some lemon juice (or squeeze a piece of lemon over), but I forgot last time I made it, and didn't really notice a big difference, so you don't have to. There's alot of flavor (and oil) in the pesto sauce, so you could just put this on top of the mushrooms instead.

There are so many different versions of salads, depending on the ingredients and dressings.
Here is a good one, which at the same time is very simple, with very few ingredients, and yet so tasty! :-)

Ingredients:

A dash of oil or butter for the frying pan

A dash of soy sauce﻿

A dash of Balsamico

Heat the Portbello mushroom with some oil/butter on medium heat, then add the soy sauce and balsamico.
When done, put on top of the lettuce and feta cheese, and enjoy this light & tasteful, healty salad! :-)
